Answer

Article 63 matches with the provision establishing the office of the Vice-President of India; Article 75(3) matches with collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers to the Lok Sabha; Article 77 matches with conduct of business of the Government of India in the name of the President; and Article 78 matches with duties of the Prime Minister regarding furnishing of information to the President.
The matching correctly identifies the precise constitutional mandate of each article under Chapter I of Part V of the Constitution of India: Article 63 creates the post of Vice-President, Article 75(3) defines cabinet accountability to the Lok Sabha, Article 77 regulates official executive orders under the President's name, and Article 78 outlines the Prime Minister's duty to report to the President.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the core subject matter of Article 63 and Article 75(3)
Article 63 mandates the office of the Vice-President of India, while Article 75(3) establishes the principle of collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers to the Lok Sabha.
These are direct provisions governing executive offices and cabinet accountability.
2
Identify the procedural mandates of Article 77 and Article 78
Article 77 requires all executive notifications and actions to be formally taken in the President's name, while Article 78 defines the Prime Minister as the chief channel of communication between the Cabinet and the President.
These articles regulate administrative workflow and the constitutional dialogue between the Prime Minister and the Head of State.
3
Match each article code with its correct corresponding provision
Article 63 pairs with office of Vice-President; Article 75(3) pairs with collective responsibility; Article 77 pairs with conduct of business in President's name; Article 78 pairs with Prime Minister's duties to inform the President.
Establishes standard constitutional accuracy.
